Having been officially notified tliat
the city of Albany cannot entertain the
Convention which was to have conven
ed this February 15th, it is hereby or
dered, by virtue of the power vested in
me as President of the State Agricul
tural Society, that the meeting ot the
convention be postponed one week, and
it will be held in the city of Macon on
Tuesday, ‘2oth day of February, 1883.
Delegatas will take due notice and

Thomas Hardeman, President.
About three years ago a Chicago
newspaper printed, one morning, under
flaming head lines, a long and detailed
account of the burning of the Newhall
house, the night before, with a fright
ful loss of life. The article was a hoax,
and closed with a sentence explaining
that the horrible calamity which it
graphically portrayed was liable to oc
cur at any time. E. B. Northrop, a
well-known newspaper man, now of
St. Paul, was the author of the hoax,
and always declared that the time
would come when his article would be
regarded in the light of a prediction,
Summarizing the work before Con
gress, the Atlanta Constitution finds
that of fourteen appropriation bills,
thirteen are to be prefected and passed.
Only one, the Agricultural ‘appropria
tion bill, is with the President for his
signature. Of the others, four have
passed both Houses, but the Senate
added amendments and the differences
have yet to be adjusted. The naval
appropriation bill is now before the
House, and if all the others shall take
up as much time hs it has already con
sumed, there will be little time for do
ing anything else tut pass the appro
priation bills. The tariff bills will cer
tainly not be finished this sesson, and
the probabilities for an extra session
continue to be discussed.
The announcement of a novel show,
in a “tent” near Hot Springs, Ark.,
drew a crowd. The first thing on the
nr/kttr.mm. mrna ■’ mofnt
tween a negro and a bear. It was a
close and bloody contest, and the andi
eace was wild with delight when at
last the exhausted negro succeeded in
dragging the bear behind the scenes.
In response to deafening applause he
presently appeared again upon the stage,
holding a large bag in his hand. The
spectators gazed at him in silent curi
osity. He drew a knife from his
pocket, leaned over, slit the bag from
top to bottom, and out upon the audi
ence flew a swarm of angry bees. A
wild stampede for the exit followed,
and the negro had all the fun to him
self; but why he took that means of
cleaning out the tent nobody seems to
know.
It will be seen by the following from
the Gwinnett Herald, Lawrencevillc,
that the dreadful disease small-pox, is
spreading in that section: “Two of the
negroes who had small-pox near town,
have died. A man by the name of Jim
Drew, who was thought to be improv
ing, choked to death Saturday night.
It is said that he had some throat dis
ease before,and it was aggravated by the
•mall-pox. On Thursday night an in
fant died. There are still five cases
there—Bill Drew and his wife, bis two
children and the negro boy who brought
the disease here. One ot the children,
a boy about ten years old, is about well.
He only had a mild case of varioloid.
Arrangements have been made to re
move them to a pest house as soon as
the physician thinks they can be re
moved without danger.”
Roanoke Survivors.
A late number of the Eufaula Bul
letin contained a well written account
of the battle of Roanoake, fought in 18-
86. The article in question is from
the pen of Dr. C. A Cheatham, and
appeared in the Dawson Journal about
four years ago. Dr. Cheatham was a
participant in the battle and was living
in this county at the time. Among the
familiar names mentioned in the article
we notice John Talbot, Green Ball,
Loved Bryan and Nathan Clifton. .Of
these veteran soldiers, Talbot, Ball and
Clifton have pased over the river, apd
their aged comrades, Dr. C. A. Cheat
ham, of Dawson, and Hon. Loved Bry
an, County School Commissioner of
this county, still live, typical heroes of
the early days of our country.
We know also of two other veterans
of 1886 who are still in the land of the
living, though their locks are frosted
and their frames bent. We allude to
Maj . John M. Gain, of Lumpkin, who
reached Roanoak two days after the
fight from some point in Alabama.

The Schley County Trouble.
Six More Prisoners Brought in—
The Doings of United States Bet
ty Marshals—Excitement in Sum
ter and Schley.
Macon Graphic.
It will be remembered that on Satur
day last, th<i 'Graphic gave an account
of the bringing, as United States priso
ners, to Macon, of eleven people who
were charged with obstructing and pre
venting from executing his duties, a
United States Marshal, one A. R.
Wright. That number was reinforced
this morning by the arrival of six more
prisoners in charge of Mr. A. J. Locke,
a "deputy United marshal, and brother
of Marshal Locke, who was only com
missioned night before last. The par
ty consisted of A. F. Wiggins and
James Guy, white, and Wash Carter,
Henry Croxton, John Hicks and Rias
Myrick, colored. As those who pre
ceded them had done they waived ex
amination before Commissioner Brown,
and a bond was place upon them for
their appearance at the next term of
the United States Circuit Court.
Eleven columns of the Graphic
would not be sufficient space in which
to give to our readers the entire case
in its every phase and detail. It is a
clash between the United States gov
ernment and the authorities of the State
of Georgia. As we stated in Saturday’s
Graphic, the farm and mills in Schley
county, known as the Hart place, were
sold under fi. fas. from the United States
Court, (which one side of the quarrel
allege were paid off ones,)to Mrs. Hart,
a lady of Americus, and that in putting
Mrs. Hart in possession the United
States marshal, Mr. A. R. Wright,
was obstructed. The obstruction in
part, and as claimed by the obstructors,
was the serving of an injunction from
Judge Simmons. The quarrel over the
property is among the family. In his
will old man Hart signified that he
wanted his grandson, Mr. A. F. Wig
gins, who was in possession at the time
of the trouble, to hold the property for
the support of four or five minor child
ren, and this is Mr. Wiggins’ defence
for clinging on to the possession. Mrs.
Halt, the purchaser, is a member of the
family also, and bought the property
at the sale. This is the statement of
the case as near as we can make it.
Whether Wiggins' submitted to be
ing put out of possession is not known.
A strange part of the proceedings is
that a Graphic man was on yesterday
shown an affidavit from A. R. Wright,
sworn to in Americus before Judge M
B. Council, N. P., on the 13th day of
December, the same day on which he
swore out the warrants for the arrest of
the present arraigned parties for ob
structing them. That affidavit was to
the effect that he had quietly, and with
out the least, trouble, put Mrs. Hart in
possession. The affidavit bears his
own signature, and was written in the
handwriting of one of the lawyers who
is now a prosecuting attorney in the
case. It is a funny thing. And the
most significant fact is that Wright has
not yet put in an appearance, and it is
for this reason, and to save expense,
the prisoners have waived examination.
ine prisoners are ioua in tlieir
praise of Capt. Brown, United States
Commissioner, Col. Lock, United
States Marshal, Mr. A. J. Lock and
L. C. Brown, duputy marshals, but
they don’t seem to have much love for
Deputy Marshal E. E. Cash. They
say he is, in his own estimation, about
the biggest man in Georgia. One of
the prisoners told us that Cash had
made a mistake in his initials on the
warrant, but told him that if he would
pay his expenses to Macon, as he need
ed the mileage to pay his lawyer’s
fees in Columbus in a criminal trial
which is now in.progress.
It is said also by the prisoners that
they have suffered many wrengs from
this deputy marshal. The most grie
vous one was that when lie called to
arrest Mr. A. F. Wiggins, that gen
tleman’s wife, who, in a delicate con
dition, was, with her children, the sole
occupants of the house, Mr. Wiggins
being gone to Columbus. The lady
told him that her husband was not in
the house, but the pistol was whipped
out and a search demanded. Frighten
ed and not knowing what would hap
peu, Mrs. Wiggins was compelled to
seek shelter at a neighbor’s. In the
walk to the neighbors it was necessary
to cross a creek on a log, and she fell
into the water. She was carried to the
neighbor’s house, and has lain in a crit
ical condition every since.
We will not attempt to say how the
whole matter will culminate, but the
lawyers of Macon are freely volunteer
ing to assist the council for the defence,
and there is a smack of disgust about
everything a United States official tells
you about it.
Remarkable Prophecy.
Oconee Monitor.
Miss Mary Payne, when on her road
to visit Gainesville, on passing the
Mars Hill graveyard, ordered her driver
to stop the team which he did. Then
she demanded a promise from him that
he would bring her back and bury her
beside her dead sister Jane. “For,”
said she, “I will never come back home
alive. lam going to die away from
home, and want you to bring me back
here for buriel.” To this declaration
she clung, nor could she be persuaded
that as she was in good health she
would have a pleasant visit and return
home happy. She would sy no, lam
going to dio before I over see home
again. And what makes this seem al
most prophetic, is that before three
weeks had rolled by, and while she was
at Gainesville, last Sunday week, she
took a congestive chill and died sud
denly, and was brought back to Mars
Hill, as she requested, and there buried
beside her dear sister.

that he had just returned to Macon from

seventeen criminals, and was himself
arrested and brought here and convict

An Opelika Sensation-Two Young
Dailies Startle the Town.
Columbus Times.
We learti that Opelika was on Fri
day and Friday night subject to a sen
sation more startling, if possible, than
the recent series of municipal disorders.
Instead of being the work of angry men
this time it was all caused by two fair
young girls who must have been in
spired by Dunbar’s daring to have
even attempted such a thing. Friday
morning Misses Clara and Mary Ross,
daughteis of Mr. William Ross, accord
ing to a constitutional custom, left
their home to take a walk. After get
ting some little distance from home, it
occurred to them that if they could get
up a little sensation it would “just be
too delightful for anything.”
Several hours passed, and the moth
er at home became a little uneasy at
the prolonged absence of her daughters,
but gave no alarm as she supposed
that they were visiting some friends.
In the evening, however, she became
uneasy of suspense, and had inquiry
made all over town, among her friends
but to no avail. “Night’s deep dark
ness” covered the earth with its som
breness and the mother’s suspense grew
into misery, and from misery into ago
ny. The whole, of Opelika was alarmed
and the town turned out en masse to
search for the missing girls. Bands
with blazing toiches proceeded to scour
the surrounding county. One of the
parties got on the trail of the girls,(we
mean on their track, tor we are certain
they were comparatively short dress
ed,) and tracked them several miles.
Coming to a muddy place in the road,
their tracks were seen, and also a man’s.
Foul play then suggested itself, and the
energy of the search increased. The
searching continued until 2 a. m. yes
terday, when the girls were found ten
miles from Opelika at the house of a rel
ative.
The young ladies told the seekers
their joke, as they termed it, but when
they remembered that they had told
their mother nothing of their pedestrian
tour, they hurried back home, to glad
den a mother’s heart that was almost
bleeding to learn the fate of her children.
POOR TOM CRYMES.
Particulars of his sad end—Wind
ing Up llis Business After Taking
the Fatal Dose—With Death in
Sight He is Calm and Collected,
and Goes to His Last Sleep as to
a Couch of Slumber—The Motive
that Prompted the Deed—A Hor
ror of Early Burial.
Athens Banner-Watchman.
In our last issue we had only time to
briefly announce the death of Hon.
Thomas Crymes, and to state that it
was evidently a case of suicide. Since
then the Coroner has investigated the
case and his jury came to this decision
—the deceased met his death from an
overdose of morphine, administered by
his own hands, and with the intent to
end his life.
Our city is filled with rumors as to
the cause of the rash act —some of
them as unjust to the living as to the
dead—and we feel it our duty to give
the following facts, which we gather
from what we consider perfectly reliable
authority: It seems that for several
months past Mr. Crymes had been
drinking very hard, which coupled with
the fact that he was suffering with an
incurable disease, seemed to greatly de
press his spirits. He was a justice of
the peace, and it seemed that he lacked
$75 of squaring his books. The day
before his rash act he went to his wife
and asked her to give him that amount
of money. Mrs. Crymes did not have
it at the time, but told her husband
that if he would quit drinking that she
would get it for him. The deceased
promised to do so, but at the same time
stated to his wife that he had eighteen
grains of morphine in his pocket, and
if the money was not forthcoming that
he would lock himself up in his office,
swallow the narcotic, and in six hours
death would cancel the obligation. As
Mr. Crymes had before threatened sui
cide, when his spirits were depressed,
his wife did not feel annoyed, suppos
ing he was only trying to frighten her.
It seems also that a case had been book
ed in the Mayor’s court against the de
ceased for some slight transgression of
the city ordinances, and this too gave
him great annoyance. During the day
of his death he kept iooking out of the
window, expecting to see the police
coming for him. About 9 o’clock Sat
urday morning he swallowed the dose,
unobserved by any one, and after chat
ting awhile pleasantly with his family
walked down town, where he got some
papers and turned them over to the
owner, with full directions as to how he
must proceed to get his money. He
was not in the least nervous, and no
one would have thought that he knew
certain death was only a few hours
ahead of him. He then went home
and spent the remainder of themoining
with his family. He spoke of his prob
able death to his wife, and told her
that it she outlived him she must not
let his body be put under the ground
too soon, as he had a horror of being
buried alive. He stated also that he
was a Mason in good standing, as they
would find by his papers, and that he
wanted to be buried by that fraternity.
Hi® -w-ifo natuialljr ihuuglib liliii only
low spirited, and promised all he asked.
Mr. Crymes then stated that he felt
sleepy, and if his wife would excuse
him he would lay down and take a nap.
She told him the bed was ready, and
to do so. He then kissed his three lit
tle children affectionately and began his
last sleep. About three o’clock Mrs.
Crymes heard her husbaand snoring
very loudly, but she thought nothing
of it. Shortly after that she detected
a gurgling sound in his throat, as if
catching for breath, and at once enter
ed the room where lie was. She at
once saw from the looks of his face
that something was wrong, and forth
with aroused her neighbors and tele
phoned for a physician. As soon as
they arrived it was at once seen that
Mr Crymes was past medical aid. He
had swallowed eighteen grains of mor
phine in a drink of whisky, and even
had aid arrived sooner it could have
done no good. He was unconscious
when his condition was discovered, and
shortly after died. He did not appear
to suffer much.
Last evening, in accordance with his
request, the remains were interred by
the Masonic fraternity in the Oconee
cemetery. It was one of the saddest
funerals ever witnessed in our city.
A brother of Mrs. Crymes, from Vir
ginia, arrived yesterday morning and
was present at the funeral.

Angry Gebliardt Returned to
New York—He Vents his
Spleen in Choice Epithets.
New York, Jan. 26.—N0 sooner
did Frederick Gebliardt, the friend and
admirer of the Jersey Lily make his
appearance upon Wall street yesterday
afternoon than he was surrounded by a
bevy of brokers, who grasped him
warmly by the hand, slapped him up
on the hack, and exclaimed, “Bravo,
well done, Fred.”
“I only did what any true gentleman
would do under similar circumstances,”
was his quiet response.
Gebhardt, after parting with his
friends, made his way with great dif
ficulty to the office of C. J. Orborn &
Cos., his brokers, where he closeted for
some time, rumor said in selling Den
ver short. About 3p. m., as the clo
sing sales were being run off the “tick
er” at Delmonico’a, Fred|walked in and
rejoining his friends, approached the
bar and quietly called for brandy and
seltzer. While he was sipping his fa
vorite beverage, a reporter asked him
if he desired to say anything concern
ing his unpleasantness with Mr. Cun
ningham, of the St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat.
“I don’t care to talk on the subject,”
was the response.
“The statements telegraphed east
were not very creditable to you in
many respects, and a few words of ex
planation may set you right.”
“I expressed myself freely at
the time Cunningham wrote up a bo
gus interview and when I met him in
the rotunda of the Southern Hotel, 1
called him a liar and a cur.”
“Did he not resent this aspersion at
the time?”
“No, he walked away. I repeat the
assertion now, that he is a cur and
a liar.”
“He challenged you, did he not?”
He sent a man with a note that bore
that interpretation, but I paid no at
tention to it. The time for him to re
sent the insult, as he called it, was
when it was offered. I did not make
the charge under an impulse of the mo
ment, but alter mature consideration,
and I meant all I said, and I was pre
pared to take the consequences.”
“The matter ended there?”
“Yes; I remained in St. Louis for
several days, and then came East.
Cunningham insulted a lady who had
no male protector, and I resented it. I
regret nothing, and shall say no more
about the matter.”
Mr. Gebhardt was attired in a fault
less made suit of black, which was
covered with a single-breasted ulster,
buttoned close to the neck and extend
ing to his feet. He was polite, and
certainly did not lack friends, judging
from tho crowd that gathered about
him wherever he went. Later in the
day he visited the Union Club, where
he was warmly welcomed by Howell
Osborn, George Gould, Frank Ellison,
Wright Sanford, W. P. Talboys and
others. It is given out that he intends
to visit England soon, where, it is be
lieved, that his kindness toward Mrs.
Langtry will give him an entree to so
cicty.

ment upon the Chronicle of the past. The
Chronicle, of the future will be an im
provement upon the Chronicle of to day.
The world moves, and the paper moves with
it. Wonderful inventions, in the last half ]
century, have given an impetus to all mate- '
rial tilings, and the press lias shared in the
advantages of great discoveries, just as it
has also stimulated them. The Chronicle
lias spared no pains or expense to furnish
the public witli the news of the day from
all parts of the world, and it will take pleas
ure and pride in perfecting this service from /
time to time. The Chronicle has endeav-/
ored to take high and noble views of public v
policy, and to sustain all good and justt
causes.
The Chronicle lias essayed to encourage
virtue and to make the lot of man and wo
man all the brighter and better for the com
mon weal. Tlie Chronicle strives to be a
newspaper in the bestsense of the term,and
to advance, in that mission, the interests of
all the people. Tho conductors of the paper
cannot and do not expect to he infallible
any more than they expect to please every
body. In all human affairs mistakes of
judgement will occur and contests of opin
ion will arise We will, however, mightily
strive to commit as few errors as possible,
and to enter such conflicts as cannot bo
avoided with a proper spirit.
The Chronicle enters the now year with
exceptional advantages. Its daily edition is
a weli-iilled eight-page paper. Its second
edition, for the evening mails, is eight pages,
witli the afternoon markets and telegraphic
reports. It takes the place of the tri-weekly
edition. Its mammoth weekly paper will
compare witli any in the country. Into this
edition the choicest and creamiest news of
the week is collected, and upon its lap the
best and freshest editorial and miscellane
ous matter from the daily is poured. Its
market reports, covering nearly one page,
will be an especial feature, prepared each
week for tho country reader.
Its nows service will be sustained by train
ed and scholarly correspondents in the three
capitals—Atlanta, Columbia aud Washing
ton—while it will strive to have a news rep
resentative in every neighboring town,
The mail facilities of this paper aro now
superb. Four daily trains distribute its edi
tions in South Carolina and three in Georgia. I
It readies all the principal points in South {
Carolina early on the day of publication— J
reaching Columbia at H a. m. The fast
mail schedule of the Georgia Railroad lands

all towns along the line early in tlie fore
noon, while its issue is unfolded in Atlanta,
and Athens by noon eacli day.
